The Value Of A Personality Test

We have all been there, another day at work and we dread dealing with our co-workers, or a “certain someone" within the office.

Ever have that co-worker that is maybe too overbearing? Or you’re not sure how to read them?

Here is the thing: we all were not born with the same personality and we all communicate differently. Put a bunch of random people together, and you’re prone to personality “clashes" in some way or another.

Some people might seem pushy and/or straight forward.

Some people might keep to themselves or maintain a shy demeanor.

Some people might act as introverts or extroverts.

From prior experience, I believe that if we all understood how we are wired and communicate, our personal and professional lives would be so much more fulfilling. Personally, I think all employers should offer onsite new-hire personality tests to help build team efficiency and unity. Agree?

If your work place does not offer these—I encourage you take them on your own time!
